Caulophryne is a genus of fanfins.
There are currently four recognized species in this genus: [1]
A genus–differentia definition is a type of intensional definition, and it is composed of two parts:
Crappies are a genus, Pomoxis, of North American freshwater fish in the sunfish family Centrarchidae. Both species in this genus are popular pan fish.
Esox is a genus of freshwater fish, the only living genus in the family Esocidae—the esocids which were endemic to North America and Eurasia during the Paleogene through present.
Thymallus thymallus, the grayling or European grayling, is a species of freshwater fish in the salmon family Salmonidae. It is the only species of the genus Thymallus native to Europe, where it is widespread from the United Kingdom and France to the Ural Mountains in Russia, but does not occur in the southern parts of the continent. It was introduced to Morocco in 1948, but it does not appear to have become established there.
Gopherus is a genus of fossorial tortoises commonly referred to as gopher tortoises. The gopher tortoise is grouped with land tortoises that originated 60 million years ago, in North America. A genetic study has shown that their closest relatives are in the Asian genus Manouria. The gopher tortoises live in the southern United States from California's Mojave Desert across to Florida, and in parts of northern Mexico. Gopher tortoises are so named because of their ability to dig large, deep burrows; those of the gopher tortoise can be up to 40 feet (12 m) in length and 10 feet (3.0 m) in depth. These burrows are used by a variety of other species, including mammals, other reptiles, amphibians, and birds. Gopher tortoises are 20–50 cm (7.9–19.7 in) in length, depending on the species. All six species are found in xeric habitats. Numerous extinct species are known, the oldest dating to the Priabonian stage of the Late Eocene of the United States.
Brachaelurus is the sole genus of sharks in the family Brachaeluridae in the order Orectolobiformes. Only two species of blind sharks occur, both of which are native to shallow coastal waters up to 110 m (360 ft) deep, off the eastern coast of Australia.
The anglerfish are fish of the teleost order Lophiiformes. They are bony fish named for its characteristic mode of predation, in which a modified luminescent fin ray acts as a lure for other fish. The luminescence comes from symbiotic bacteria, which are thought to be acquired from seawater, that dwell in and around the esca.
Scirpophaga is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1832. Asian species include significant rice stemborer pests.
Gamerabaena is an extinct genus of baenid turtle which existed in North Dakota during the late Cretaceous Period. It is known from a single fragmentary skull that was found in the Maastrichtian-age Hell Creek Formation. It contains the species Gamerabaena sonsalla. Gamerabaena is similar to the genus Palatobaena, but it differs in its lack of a posterior expansion of the triturating surface, a somewhat rectangular skull, and a wide angle between the maxillae. Gamerabaena also has a lingual ridge on the inner side of the jaw that is not seen in Palatobaena.
The fanfin skate is a species of skate in the family Arhynchobatidae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Pseudoraja. This pelagic skate occurs in the Atlantic Ocean from Florida and through the Gulf of Mexico to Honduras.
Similodonta is an extinct genus of early bivalve in the extinct family Praenuculidae. The genus is one of eleven genera in the subfamily Praenuculinae. Similodonta is known from Middle Ordovician through Middle Silurian fossils found in Europe and North America. The genus currently contains eight accepted species, Similodonta ceryx, Similodonta collina, Similodonta djupvikensis, Similodonta magna, Similodonta recurva, Similodonta spjeldnaesi, Similodonta wahli and the type species Similodonta similis.
Asquamiceps is a genus of slickheads that occurs in all oceans. It is one of nineteen genera in the family Alepocephalidae.
Caulophryne polynema is a species of fish in the family Caulophrynidae, the fanfins. It is known commonly as the hairy fanfin. It is native to the Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans. It occurs off the eastern coast of North America across to Africa and as far north as Iceland. In the Pacific it is known from the waters off of Hawaii and to the western coast of North America.
Robia legula is a species of fanfin found in the western central Pacific Ocean where it is found at depths of 1,000 to 1,500 metres. This species is the only known member of its genus.
The Dinidoridae are a small family of insects comprising about a hundred species in sixteen genera in the Hemipteran suborder Heteroptera, the "true bugs". As a group the family does not have any common name. Until the late 19th century they were generally regarded as a subfamily of the Pentatomidae.
Speranza is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by John Curtis in 1828.
Caulophryne pelagica is a species of fanfin, a type of anglerfish. The fish is found in the bathyal zone at depths ranging from 954 to 2,500 metres.
Caulophryne jordani, commonly known as the fanfin angler, is a species of fanfin, a type of anglerfish. The fish is primarily found in the bathyal zone at depths ranging from 100 to 1,510 metres. it has many unusual tentacles with lights attached.
Caulophryne bacescui is a species of fanfin, a type of anglerfish. The fish is found in the bathyal zone and is known to live in the Peru Trench in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
The long-toothed pipistrelle is a species of bat of the genus Hypsugo. It is a small bat, with a length of 35.2–38.4 mm of forearm, and 5.9–7 mm of foot. It feeds on insects and has especially long canines compared to others of its genus.
